Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ℤ has the Unicode code point U+2124. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thexare the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+2124 to binary:
00100001 00100100. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11100010 10000100 10100100

Description
The Unicode character U+2124, known as the DOUBLE-STRUCK CAPITAL Z, is a typographical symbol that represents an uppercase letter 'Z' in a double-struck or bold style. In digital text, this character is often used to denote mathematical expressions or variables, as well as to emphasize certain elements within a document. Its double-struck appearance makes it easily distinguishable from regular capital letters and can help improve the clarity of mathematical or technical documents. The DOUBLE-STRUCK CAPITAL Z has no specific cultural or linguistic significance but is widely used across various industries, such as mathematics, engineering, and computer science, to convey important information in a visually distinct manner.
